I approve very highly of the idea contained in this bill. The eyes of Europe are on the three Americas. As the population of Europe becomes denser and its political complications and oppressions increase there will be even a greater emigration from that continent to ours than at the present day. The United States can not remain silent or passive while this tremendous flood of emigration is pouring into America from Europe. And while we have at our doors in South America the best market yet opened up in prospective to us. I am a strong advocate of commercial union with the South American republics.
